=THE GRANDISSIMES. A Story of Creole Life.= One vol., 12mo,
$1.50.
“_The Grandissimes_ is a novel that repays study. It
opens to most of us an unknown society, an unknown world,
absolutely fresh characters, a dialect of which we had
only fragments before, and it illuminates a historical
period that was in the dark.... It is in many respects the
most original contribution to American fiction.”—_Hartford
Courant._
=OLD CREOLE DAYS.= One vol., 16mo, extra cloth, $1.00.
“These charming stories attract attention and commendation
by their quaint delicacy of style, their faithful
delineation of Creole character, and a marked originality.
The careful rendering of the dialect reveals patient study
of living models; and to any reader whose ear is accustomed
to the broken English, as heard in parts of our city
every day, its truth to nature is striking.”—_New Orleans
Picayune._
=MADAME DELPHINE.= One vol., square 12mo, cloth, 75 cents.
“This is one of the books in which the reader feels a kind
of personal interest and is sorry that he cannot continue
the acquaintance of their people after the volume is
closed.”—_Philadelphia Inquirer._
